And he invented the anecdotal evidence. Why would he do that?He made a poor choice of words.
Unless you are on the receiving end of it.Thanks to racism always mostly being a low level thing
Was that why he was sacked from the cabinet and never held any post of worth for the remainder of his career?He still essentially had the same view as politics when the Windrush arrived.
But they still suffer the same problems as their parents.Much of it is crap as further generations tend to become what I would call anglicised.
Like racism and inequality?You might say then have the same problems as the rest of us.
30, 40, 50 or 400 years?It just takes a while
Except inequality remains.and tends to happen when living standards improve. How many kids can I afford etc. Older people are supported in different ways in some societies or in some cases the entire family even if only one is working.
So that's when racism started? And I thought it was 400 years before that.The treatment of The Windrush people is when things started to go wrong for coloured immigrants.

And what justice do the 7% get for being killed by white cops?
Hey, that's a great argument
"other people do wrong, therefore I am entitled to do wrong."
Is that what you say when you shoplift from Sainsburys?
And what justice do the 7% get for being killed by white cops?
Also, what percentage of those black men killing black men occur in an affluent environment? And how many occur in an environment of inequality, poverty, unemployment and injustice?

They are not blaming other people. They are admitting that they were wrong, and recognising the influences in their lives.
Most would laud them for their openness and enlightenment. You think they are stupid.
As to your head sin ovens comment. It's a resort to ad absurdum argument.
And you deny the influence of others? Isn't this a perfect example of influence from others. They think the way they do, and you think they must be right, because you agree with them? Herd mentality in action?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_mentality#:~:text=Herd mentality, mob mentality and,, rather than rational, basis.
But you think it doesn't exist.
You are quite vitriolic about your opinion of the BLM movement.
Do you not think there is a severe need for greater equality, or is everything hunky-dory?
Those statues, which era do most of them refer to?
Well I suppose u make a good point
Murder can be justified by inequality
Poverty and unemployment

Are you suggesting that all black men in US are living in poverty?Blimey I only asked a question
What percentage of the population are afro americans in the USA?

I'm sure they were accepting the fact that they were wrong. I didn't see them blaming anyone else. I saw them as being aware of how our identities are formed.ok to further your ad absurdum argument,... People have the ability to think for themselves the fact they choose to not do so when they are carrying out something of which is bad or immoral makes them idiots. They are admitting that they were wrong but it was because of this that and the other, always have to blame someone, ..
So their apology was not sufficient for you?Kudos to them admitting they were wrong but it appears to me at least a half arsed apology.
You deny that there is such a thing as herd mentality? You deny that there is such a thing as parental and peer pressure?There is not a herd mentality just that no one i know of or have been in contact with agrees with the BLM movement.
People tend to congregate with like-minded individuals. They do that so that their beliefs, their ideologies are not too badly questioned. Otherwise, if we mix with others, that have different views, we either undergo a change in our beliefs and ideologies, or we become a pariah within that social circle.that doesnt mean anything to do with herd immunity, its just that people do not agree with something.
Your comments do not seem to agree with your statement, "everyone agrees there is an equality issue". Or maybe they do agree but are resistant to the changes that are required to address the issues.i am vitriolic of the BLM movement, and so are many others. everyone agrees there is an equality issue and for varying reasons, but the current trend of "HATE THE WHITE MAN/WOMAN" or "PRIVILEGED WHITE" (many of us really are not privileged) and is not winning many people over,
Are you suggesting that all black men in US are living in poverty?
I'm reasonably confident that you are mistaken.
I'm sure they were accepting the fact that they were wrong. I didn't see them blaming anyone else. I saw them as being aware of how our identities are formed.
If you deny that internalisation, socialisation, parental and peer influence play a part in our identity, how do you explain how we become the people we are? Are we born racists? Are we born a Tory, or a Labour or a Communist? What shapes out lives if it's not parental, and peer pressure and herd mentality?
So their apology was not sufficient for you? there not apologising to me so why does it matter whether i think its enough or not.
You deny that there is such a thing as herd mentality? You deny that there is such a thing as parental and peer pressure?
You haven't heard any of your contacts agree with the BLM movement, therefore it's wrong, it's misguided, it's divisive, it's counter-productive? not denying that herd mentality exists, however we all have the ability to make up our own minds as to whether we agree with something or not, at the end of the day we can have our own points of view which may or may not be swayed by others.

Otherwise, if we mix with others, that have different views, we either undergo a change in our beliefs and ideologies, or we become a pariah within that social circle. that's not completely true, as it's not so black and white as that, there are many that mix with those that have differing beliefs and still have their own views and are not ostracised for it
Your comments do not seem to agree with your statement, "everyone agrees there is an equality issue". Or maybe they do agree but are resistant to the changes that are required to address the issues.
Furthermore, if you see the BLM movement as "hate the white man", then you have serious comprehension problems.
i'm not sure where your going with this, yes many people agree there is inequality in all walks of life and it is not all purely down to skin colour. I'm not resistant to change, i'm happy to change, but no ones said what change is required, i'm not racist, and i dont make racist remarks, i'm more than happy to employ someone from any background providing they can do the job and skin colour never comes to it, i would rather a black person whom can do the job than a white person who could do it half as well.
From what i have seen from the BLM movement it is very much hate the white person, as i said Anthony Joshua all but said this in his speech and this has been the general rhetoric published on social media, and other sources.
